Bears Ears contains more than 100,000 archaeological sites. The land is sacred to five sovereign tribes who formed a coalition to protect it – the Hopi, the Navajo Nation, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, the Pueblo of Zuni and the Ute Indian. Lawyers for these tribes have filed a lawsuit challenging the executive orders. They believe the president doesn’t have the authority to diminish or rescind monument designations.

With your help, we can demonstrate overwhelming public support for not only Bears Ears, but all National Monuments. Public lands and waters unite West Virginians across party lines – 87% of West Virginians believe National Monument designations should be kept in place. Sign our petition and tell Interior Secretary Zinke, Senator Manchin and Senator Capito that West Virginians demand they stand up for public lands. Sign the petition now.
